The Family Search Wiki has a page for Hällestad parish which can be very helpful in identifying farms if you are unable to read them in the records: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/H%C3%A4llestad_Parish,_%C3%96sterg%C3%B6tland,_Sweden_Genealogy

Thank you Norm. This is very helpful especially the link to the list of farms in Hälletad. I also found where another researcher (or two) indicated Brita's mother was "Gertrud" Larsdotter. That looks right to me. Thanks again, Sandy

You are welcome.

I notice that I misspelled "Britha" and forgot to put her mother's first name in. It is Gertrud. Sorry about that.

No problem. I appreciate all the help you've given me. This Community has been a great help to me since I don't speak or read swedish. The detail you provide is very helpful. Thank you.
